Think of it as similar to the old Posix sub-system that came with windows previously. Or think of it as another sub-system like the one for Win32, or when you would run DOS in windows.
The Linux executables get to run as regular processes basically, so it's an alternative to running Linux in a VM and far superior in many ways for many developers.

They are systematically converting Windows into Linux. Or basically they are merging Linux into Windows and take over Linux.
